Clinical
Geri-Lanta Maximum Strength is an over-the-counter antacid suspension taken by mouth. It contains aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which are commonly used to neutralize stomach acid and relieve heartburn and indigestion. The product also includes dimethicone, an ingredient typically added to reduce gas bubbles and bloating that may accompany acid reflux symptoms. This is an OTC monograph product, meaning it is marketed under established FDA guidelines for antacids rather than as an individually reviewed drug application.
